[WIP] Piranha Launcher

TOBSn08 · Mar 2017

Felt like doing another smaller project before jumping into a new environment. Decided to make another stylized weapon and looked up some WoW ones but I just have to make this one

Piranha Launcher weapon from Hearthstone

Currently working on the high poly before I throw it into zBrush for sculpting, I will probably also do the ropes there and piranhas of course.

open for any suggestions. Will have to find a more elegant solution for the back.

Looks nice!

This is coming along nicely. If I have any crits, it is that some of your shapes feel too rigid for the WoW style. I think you could benefit from warping the barrel and body ever so slightly.

Awesome work. Are you planning on making some Piranhas for this?

TOBSn08 · Apr 2017

That's a good point, probably will try some warping on the model. Will definitely make some piranhas. Probably after the main weapon is done.

got some minor things to sort out but the bakes are pretty much there now for the main parts of the weapon. Used Marmoset 3 for baking.

I also set up my masks in Substance Painter and slapped on some standard materials just to have a preview. Gonna get to work on the main texturing next.

some more progress from the weekend. Not too happy with the rope and metal box so far but rest is coming along. Also need to rebake some parts to get rid of seams. Tried a different baking workflow and screwed up
